Chapter 70: The Separation of Paths
Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Xianyang soldiers and civilians, Hu Hai stood in front of the magnificent thing that was covered by a black curtain!
Now, on the square in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, except for Hu Hai standing alone, no one can ride a horse! This is the place of dignity of the Great Qin Emperor, except for the Great Qin Emperor, when anyone sets foot in the Xianyang Palace Square, they must get off the horse and stop and enter on foot!
The grand Xianyang Palace Square, except for the white jade steps near the main hall of the Xianyang Palace and the place where the twelve golden figures in front of it are located, does not prohibit ordinary people from entering the Xianyang Palace Square to enjoy and play!
Today, in addition to Hu Hai riding a horse into the Xianyang Palace Square, there are also Wang Li and the two clay pots placed on the tall hearse!
Hu Hai handed over the black daqi in his hand to Weng Zhong, who had been unable to follow him and was still a lot taller than him on a horse, and looked back slowly, his eyes shining like stars.
The expression is indifferent, and his eyes are quiet and distant, but now Hu Hai, who looks indifferent, is far more incomprehensible than when he laughs and scolds, but his indifferent and calm gaze seems to have the power of ten thousand jun, and wherever his gaze passes, everyone seems to be burned by that gaze, and quietly lowers their heads!
Hu Hai retracted his gaze and quietly looked at Li Si and other Great Qin ministers who came up, and said, "Today, all the officials are here?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, all the officials in the court and all the officials in the Inner History County are here!" Li Si bowed down when he heard Hu Hai's words.
"Excellent! Since they are all here, let's start the pilgrimage meeting immediately! After Hu Hai finished speaking, he rode his horse and left!
All the ministers were dressed in a big court meeting in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and this kind of thing happened for the first time since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty! As for whether there will be any more comers in the future, Li Si and the ministers don't know, but at least now it is the actions of His Majesty the Emperor that are unprecedented!
By the time Li Si reacted and wanted to stop him, Hu Hai had already ridden to the bottom of the white jade steps, turned over and dismounted and was picking up the ladder!
Li Si, who already knew something about this young emperor, looked back at the ministers who were still looking at each other and said, "Your Majesty said that the court meeting, what are you still standing here?" ”
After speaking, Li Si straightened his robe wrapped in sackcloth and strode towards the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
The Prime Minister is like this, do the rest of the courtiers still dare to go against His Majesty the Emperor, who is obviously a little unhappy now? Didn't you see that Fengchang Hu Wujing was released?
And I heard that the emperor meant that after Hu Wujing completed the canonization and assisted Lao Zongzheng, he would return to the prison!
Hundreds of courtiers have tidied up their robes and uniforms, divided them into civil and military columns according to their ranks, and climbed the ladders along the aisles on both sides of Huhai's imperial road!
When they entered the main hall of Xianyang Palace, they found that the main hall of Xianyang Palace had completely changed unconsciously!
The hundreds of futons that were originally in the main hall have all disappeared, and have been replaced by hundreds of bronze tables neatly arranged, and behind these bronze tables are four-legged couch-like objects!
On the high hall, the original imperial futon of His Majesty the Emperor also disappeared, and was replaced by a huge thing similar to a soft couch but with a huge backrest, and the copper case that was originally long and wide but low also disappeared, and was replaced by a longer, wider, taller and larger copper case!
His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin was standing high on the main hall, not sitting cross-legged, but leaning on the huge soft collapse, one arm supporting his jaw and watching the Great Qin ministers who were rushing in!
Outside the main hall, it was scorching and bright! The hall is dark and cool, and it seems to have a slight chill! The thick light line in the huge bronze oil lamp makes a "pop" explosion sound from time to time!
All this is naturally Hu Hai's handiwork!
After enduring nearly a month of sitting cross-legged, Shang Fang finally took the time to make enough tables and chairs for the palace and all the palace rooms in Xianyang Palace! And now it is the first time that these tables and chairs have officially appeared in Daqin!
Maybe it was out of some bad taste, or maybe it was out of the psychology of catering to His Majesty the Emperor, Tian Ren personally participated in the design and supervision of the huge emperor throne under Hu Hai's buttocks!
The entire throne is black! The base is three feet high, one zhang long, three feet wide, six feet high on the back, and three feet above the pedestal, which is a total of nine feet high, which is much higher than Hu Hai!
Carving dragons and painting phoenixes, inlaid with gold and jade, needless to say, the most satisfying thing for Hu Hai is that there are two handrails and a hole in the sky, and the thick brocade couch on the base makes Hu Hai extremely comfortable!
Hu Hai, who sat on the tall throne with a tiger standing on the dragon, overlooked the entire main hall of Xianyang Palace, adding a bit of mystery and majesty, and the vast imperial atmosphere covered the entire ceremony! Of course, if he can sit upright!
Li Si, who led the way to the door, couldn't see Hu Hai's face clearly, but he knew that His Majesty the Young Emperor was looking at himself and the others at the moment! And the changes in this hall, I'm afraid that no one dares to make any changes except for the emperor who dares to do it!
Slightly restrained, Li Si strode forward!
"Your Majesty!"
The chanting of hundreds of courtiers echoed in the main hall!
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!"
Hu Hai sat up straight, and said lightly, although his voice was soft, it was extremely clear in the empty hall!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed and bowed, and then found their new seats and sat down slightly awkwardly.
"I think this is the first court meeting in two months since I returned from my eastern tour! Today, I will speak, all of you Aiqing listen! If you have any objections to what I have said. Hu Hai paused slightly when he said this, and then continued: "Still listen!" ”
There was an uproar under the hall!
This is the first time that so many ministers of Great Qin have seen it since Hu Hai's return. Everything Hu Haidong did after returning to Xianyang, the ministers of the court and the central government were all overjoyed when they felt incredible!
All kinds of rumors about what happened to the young emperor have also been rumored among the ministers for a long time!
But what is the case, this time is the real see!
Such straightforward, such domineering words, just like this, gently spit out from the mouth of the young emperor sitting on the top of the main hall! Even during the reign of the First Emperor, it was rarely the case in political affairs, let alone in the court meeting where the ministers gathered to discuss politics!
"Do you all understand?"
Hu Hai seemed to have heard the whispers of the ministers under the court, and said in a deep voice!
As soon as the words came out, the entire hall was suddenly silent!
"The old minister obeys!" An old voice suddenly sounded under the main hall!
The right prime minister Feng is going to get sick!
The hall fell into a deathly silence again after the sound of gasping!
No one expected that since the death of the First Emperor, His Majesty the Young Second Emperor succeeded to the throne, he rarely spoke at the court meeting, and even the few times he spoke out, most of them were based on the left Prime Minister Li Sima, and the right Prime Minister Feng Qujian would make his voice at this time!
Hu Hai also didn't expect Feng Quji to take the initiative to cater to him at this time today! Glancing at Li Si, who was still sitting upright as if an old monk had entered the meditation, the corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an inexplicable smile!
Although Li Si sat upright in a pretended sleep, Feng Quji's sudden movements, even with his decades of cultivation in the Huan Sea, were not only a little distracted in an instant! In a hurry, Li Si got up and bowed to Hu Hai and said, "The old minister obeys the order!" ”
It can be said that Li Si's time to get out of the queue is just right.
Feng Quji has been the right minister of Great Qin for more than ten years, although his protégés and even connections in the court cannot be compared with Li Si, who has been rooted in the court for decades, but he still has a little bit of a top!
If Li Si was in the evening, the Feng protégé who had been instructed by Feng Quji would have seconded it! At that time, even if Li Si, who was under the edict of one person under ten thousand people in the Great Qin Dynasty, could not fall in prestige, he would fall into passivity in this matter, giving people the appearance of being against the young emperor!
Feng Quji, who was standing down, heard Li Si's words, and sighed imperceptibly under his lowered head! Li Si is Li Si after all, and in an instant, Feng Quji, who finally seized the opportunity and wanted to punch his army, into the air!
"Your Ministers obey!"
Li Si, the bigwig of the DPRK and China, has already expressed his position, and suddenly nearly two-fifths of the officials in the hall have come out and bowed down! Coupled with some of Feng Quji's protégés, the vast majority of courtiers have complied with the order!
"Zhu Qing is flat." Hu Hai said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Feng Quji and Li Si got up and glanced at each other lightly, then quickly moved away and sat upright with their eyes down!
Feng Quji and Li Si looked at each other lightly, and countless sword lights and sword shadows were flickering!
The ministers in the main hall of Xianyang Palace were all silent, as quiet as a cicada!
Everyone knows that the seemingly close short-term warmth of the two bigwigs in the DPRK and China has completely disappeared!
Then it's time to win or lose!
Hu Hai knew about these but didn't seem to see them, and said solemnly: "Zhuqing listens to the order!" ”
I realized that the young Emperor would have something big to say, but no one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would come up and give an order! By the will, what has been said must have been a certainty and cannot be changed!
Hearing Hu Hai's "Zhuqing listens to the order", Li Si, who was sitting on the soft stool and clasping his hands, was suddenly startled! The gray eyebrows trembled sharply a few times, and then returned to the state of Gujing Bubo again!
Once again, the emperor did not consult with him and issued an order directly!
Li Si guessed that the emperor's decree this time would be related to Wang Li, who had just returned from martyrdom, and more than 100,000 fallen soldiers, but his intuition told him that if it was only about Wang Li and the more than 100,000 soldiers who died in battle, the emperor would not have held this court meeting so ceremoniously!
It won't be so domineering and give a direct order!
So what will it be? What else do you not know that you didn't think of?
Li Si got up and bowed down with the ministers in the hall to listen to the order, but he was thinking rapidly in his heart!
By this day, he felt that he had completely lost the mind of the once dim-witted little emperor who was high in the hall! And every time the young emperor in the hall acts, he will be shocked!
Although the First Emperor is not a hero, Li Si thinks that he can always figure out what he is thinking, what he wants, and what he wants to do! This is also the only reason why he can stand in the Great Qin Dynasty for decades!
But the little emperor in the hall, who was about the same size as his grandson, was like a deep pool!
You never guess what he's thinking and doing!
Come to think of it, Old Pifu Feng saw through this, and today he will suddenly attack himself on this hall!
